Ok time really needs to stop flying by - it's been almost a month since my last post!
Christmas break went way too fast but it was a great break from school - I squeezed in hangouts with as many friends and family as possible, caught up on sleep, ate and drank way too much, and did absolutely zero school work. There was one day that I was feeling like a good student and I literally opened a set of notes, looked at the first page, and promptly closed it.
Here are some pics from the 2 weeks of holiday break where I actually had a life!

So now we've been back to school for not even 2 weeks and I'm already counting down til the end of the semester. Sitting in class all day is killing me, especially after the break, and I'm looking forward to getting into clinical things. Thank god for the group of friends I have at school because if it wasn't for our group chat full of ranting, I may go nuts (it's always good to release anger, right?) Classes this year are much more relevant and interesting, but this is my 8th year of post-secondary education and lectures in general are starting to test my patience.
We're already getting back into tests and assignments, the silver lining is that overall this semester has less class time - there are a few long weekends, reading week in Feb, and then classes actually end before the craziness of finals begin. I'm looking forward to getting more surgery experience too :)
This weekend Matt and I are going to Ottawa for a weekend getaway to celebrate our 9 year anniversary (damn, I really am old) and then after that it's back to weekly tests so I'm going to enjoy the next few days!
That's it for now :)
